I'm importing a text file and would prefer that it create a new row in
the access table for each row in the text file. However, it is
sporadically combing some of the lines into a single row.
eg.
row 1: &a4758v5976HDN OC
row 2: &a4758v7128H 14
row 3: &a4880v432H492 733
row 4: &a4880v936H003 5-D
&a4880v15125
&a4880v3312HIN WC5066
row 5: &a4880v3888H50 1
I'm not using specs or anything, just a standard fixed-width import -
Access 97. Anyone have a solution for this? Thanks.

The first question is what creates this file? It looks like you may have
control characters that indicate end-of-lines or not. You may have to either
strip out these control characters or read character by character looking
for the right CrLf combination to put into a table.

The file is created by a process that I do not have access to modify.
However, when I parse the file and import only the problematic lines,
they work correctly, each filing into its own row. Is access getting
sloppy in its handling?
If I can't fix this, does anyone have a script to read rows with
multiple lines of data and separate them into their own rows?

Tried it in Access XP - no problems. I suppose this is a 97 bug.

How are you importing the file? Are you automating this import? Are you
using the TransferText command?
You said that you are importing the bad lines, what for? Your data doesn't
look like fixed width, but if you are just trying to import into a single
field then I understand what you're doing there.
What version are you going to use? I prefer A2k but the help files stink on
it.

I have an import spec set up with quoted Identifiers and comma-separated

This has been working for 2 years, until today, when one of the data fields

I have seven huge fixed width text file that I need to import to Access.
They contain headers, subtotals, etc. that are not needed. There is also
some corrupt data that we know about and can correct once the data is in
Access (or during the import process itself). Furthermore, the text files
are poorly set up, such that some records may be "shifted" over a few
characters, and therefore the fixed width nature of the file is corrupted.

Hi there,
I have a text file (flat file) which I would like to import on a

recordtype has a unique structure.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
